"WASHINGTON-Inspired by the breathtaking acrobatics and death-defying high
speeds of Winter Olympics events, the nation's youth were reportedly
motivated this week to go out and try sports their parents could never
possibly afford. "Cool, I can't wait to hit the slopes and do that," said
15-year-old Davenport, IA resident Eric Wallace, echoing the sentiment of
young people across the country whose families can't pay for the highly
specialized equipment and clothing, beginner instructions at expensive
training facilities, participation fees, extensive travel, lift tickets, or
inevitable medical bills. "It's going to be amazing when I'm flying across
the snow and flipping around in the air like Shaun White." Though concerned
about shelling out at least $3,000 before their children ever step foot on
snow or ice, the nation's parents were reportedly excited about the money
they would inevitably save when American youths immediately quit the sports
after complaining they were too difficult."
Never fear though... as we learned back in elementary school the best way to
turn any activity into a completely uninteresting and unrewarding chore is
to put an adult in charge of it.
